24 June 2013 The Story of an Hour Women have come a long way since 1900s.That was my response to the story “ The Story of an Hour”. To story also let me know how important women are to this world but importantly to men. Before I go ahead with my personal response of the story. I want to give a background on the story because l feel like it will let one know where I’m coming from or know how I got my personal response. Kate Chopin wrote “The story of an hour” in 1894. We are talking about a good 200 years ago. Back then women didn’t have much of voice or anything. Women were born to sever their husbands and stand on their side no matter what. It’s not like today were if a couple don’t feel love anymore or chemistry they can just go to court and get divorces. Also the female voice has gotten more respect and value. When reading “ the story of an hour” I saw the irony right away. In the story you have four characters: Mrs. Louise Mallard, Mr. Brently Mallard, Josephine, and Richards. I know many women that are in the position Louise was. That was the reason I choose this story. Especially this girl I met a girl who’s been dating her boyfriend for 3 years now and she feels the way Louise does. Lets just say her name is Blanca. She loves him but at the same time wants to be free. I think it also has to do because she has feelings for me but she’s basically married. She can’t show those emotions or express them to me or anyone else because to her it will be like sinning. The same as Louise, she couldn’t express those feeling of her finally being free or joy. Not even to her sister. Also I felt like Blanca, whom I have feelings for is the heart condition. The one that Louise has and the reason why people take care of her and don’t tell her the new right away. The reason I say Blanca is the heart condition is because I feel like I have to be careful with the things I do or say. The same way they do
